guns battled it out in the finale of the short could not sustain the pace when Tadej Pogacar accelerated with fellow Slovenian Roglic the only rider able to follow The duo crossed the line 38 seconds ahead of a grimacing Bernal who slipped to third in the general classification the most aggressive of the main contenders who was already the best man in the Pyrenees last weekend there is still a lot of things that can happen a lot of riders are still in the mix,” said Roglic Eight riders are still within two minutes but Roglic has been the most impressive never losing his cool despite Pogacar’s repeated onslaughts “I don’t want to bother looking at names and comparing myself with others I’ll continue to focus on myself,” said Vuelta champion Roglic Bernal saw Roglic and Pogacar fade in the distance as his face turned into a mask of pain in the last two kilometres of the ascent to the Puy Mary The Colombian collapsed on his bike after the finish Bernal will now have to throw everything in the biggest battle of this year’s Tour which finishes in Meribel 2,304 metres above sea level atop the Col de la Loze an unforgiving 21.5-km climb at an average gradient of 7.8% Friday’s stage signalled the end of French hopes as Romain Bardet who started the day in fourth place overall 30 seconds off the pace ended up 2:30 behind Roglic and had to pull out after the 2016 runner-up took a

Schachmann took third place A FREE roundup of top news from Guyana you might otherwise miss With seven categorised climbs and a long climb to the finish Stage 13 of the Tour de France 2020 is likely to be an explosive one On the road from Châtel-Guyon to Puy Mary the peloton will have to take on 191km of climbing in the Massif Central mountain range with seven categorised climbs on the road and 4,400 metres of climbing.  with the first 10km the only real flat section before the road ramps up in some uncategorised lumps.  Riders will then hit the first notable climb after just 25km the first category Col de Ceysatt (10.2km at 6.1 per cent).  That climb is followed by two slightly easier climbs in quick succession the Col de Guéry (7.8km at five per cent) and then the Montée de La Stèle (6.8km at 5.7 per cent) which start at 55km and 78km respectively.  The peloton then get a chance to recover on the long descent from La Stèle but at the foot of the climb its straight into the sharp end with four climbs in quick succession in the final 60km of the stage.  First it’s the Côte de l’Estiade (3.7km at 6.9 per cent) which starts at 126km then after an uncategorised climb it’s onto the Côte d’Anglards-de-Salers (3.5km at 6.9 per cent).  After that climb comes the most decisive moment of the race - the final two climbs with around 30km left of the stage The penultimate climb is the second category Col de Neronne which is 3.8km-long with a savage 9.1 per cent average gradient On Strava the segment for this climb covers 8.73km with a three per cent average.  The current fastest rider on Strava is Thibaut Pinot who crested the climb in 14.56 on stage five of the 2016 Tour de France when the climb featured in the final 50km.  was won by Greg Van Avermaet from a breakaway.  Then it’s onto the final climb for the 2020 Tour riders Puy Mary Pas de Peyrol which is a brutal 5.4km-long climb with an 8.1 per cent average It was last included in the Tour in that 2016 edition which is when Sunweb’s Wilco Kelderman set a new fastest Strava time.   with an average power of 415 watts to hold 22km/h for the duration.   But as Puy Mary wasn’t the finishing climb in the 2016 Tour we can expect some new rapid times up the final climb of stage 13 in the 2020 Tour.   Thank you for reading 20 articles this month* Join now for unlimited access Enjoy your first month for just
